PETERSBURG, Aug. 13.—A new vice- royalty, comprising the Amur district and the Kwan-Tung province (created August, 18%) *has been established. Heretofore the Amur district has been controlled by a gov- ernor general. " A ukase signed by the czar and promul- gated August 12 appoints Vice Admiral Alexieft, aide do camp general to the czar, as viceroy of this far western territory. He will be invested with supreme authority in all the branches of civil administration, the direction of which will no longer be in the hands of the rainisters. It will be the viceroy's duty to maintain order and Insure safety in the district traversed by the Eastern Chinese rallway, a8 well as to watch over the interests of the Russian inhabitants, both within and with- out the Russian possessions bordering on the territory uder his jurisdiction. In the Hands of a Viceroy. Diplomatic negotiations with nelghboring states regarding the affairs of this territory will be in the hands of the viceroy, who will also be entrusted with the command of the Russian flest in the Pacific and all the troops In the new viceregal territory. Until & new law embodying the duties of the viceroy is passed the regulations drawn in 1846 for the administration of the far eastern and Caucasian territory will remain in force. A special committee, presided over by the ezar, will see that the actions of the vice- roy are in harmony with the general pollcy of the Russian ministers. Viceroy Alexieft has been instructed to submit to the czar for his approval proposals for the adminis- tration of the territory over which he is about to assume jurisdiction. Manchuria Not Affected. LONDON, Aug. 13.—A high Russian au- thority says the establishment of a vice royal for the Amur district and Kwan- ‘Pung will not affect the evacuation of Man- churla in October. For some time Russia has been considering the advisability of consolidating the control of all its eastern territory and Manchuria under one head instead. of three,. as at present. As long as the Russian occupation of Mauchuria lasts the vice royal will be in charge and will command the troops in that reglon, but when the evacuation ocdurs he will simply have control of the Port Arthur and Tallenwan zone, through which the rallroad runs, to the territory which are indisputably Russian. ‘The British government is aware of the ukase and has taken no action. Vietory for Peace Party. LONDON, Aug. 4.—~The Dally Mall this morning declares the appointment of Alex- feft as viceroy indicates the triumph of M. De Witte, the Russian finance minister, and the policy of peace, over General Kuro- atkin, the minister of war, and that it 1s a significant step toward the settlement of the differences with China and Japan. The Daily Mall says a sharp division has long oxisted In the cabinet, Gen- eral Kuropatkin and a majority of the ministers insisting that the actual an- nexation of Manchuria should be se- cured immediately at any cost of money or credit. On the other hand, M. De ‘Witte steadlly opposed any step against any power in tho east. He Is confident that only time is peeded to bring about all that Russia desires In Manchuria, and as chancellor of the exchequer is anxious to secure the benefits of annexation at the least possible cost. 8o sharp was the dis- sension between the two parties that when General Kuropatkin visited the far east he ‘avowed his iIntention not to set foot ia ' Manchuria, declaring that it was De ‘Witte's affair and not his. De Witte has now triumphed, not only by securing Vice Admiral Alexieff's ap- pointment, but by excluding the cabinet in Manchurian matters by making the viceroy responsible solely to the czar.

KISHINEFF JEWS HONORED Governor Receives Hebrew Deputa- tion and Personally Returns COall of Delegates. % LONDON, Aug. 14—The Times today prints private advices from Kishineft which ascribe to the agitation of the for- elgn press a notable iImprovement there. Not only has the governor received a Jewish deputation most graciously, but he has actually returned a visit to each of the delegates. Such courtesy is rare where Jews are concerned. ‘There is now reason to hope that genuine measures will be taken against some of the authors of the recent massacres. A notary named Plssarjewski, who was much com- promised, has committed sulcide, and an- other man, named Kavarine, who was liberated, although acoused of murder, has been rearrested. Further symptoms of appeasement is the fact that the proposal to expel all Jews from a local club has been withdrawn alt the instance of Vice Governor Ostrogoft.

LOOK TO ENGLAND AS' LIBERTY'S FRIEND Revolt Declared to Be Spreading Fast, Well Armed Bands Prep: to Fight to Death 1t Necessary. SOFIA, Bulgarla, Aug. 13.—~The Maoce- donlan leaders express themselves as greatly disappointed with what they assert is the hostile attitude of America toward their cause, as manifested in the utter- ances of the press. Dr. Christo Tartarcheff, one of the presi- dents of the central international Mace- donian committee, today sald his party was convinced that American newspapers had been bought with Turkish gold. The doctor added: American Press Hostile. There seems to be no other explanation of the tone of their articles. They are not only unsympathetic, but decidedly Inimical, It is impossible that such an attitude could arise from Ignorance of the true state of affairs in a country so intelligent as Amer- fca. and it pression created by the Miss Stone affair have so prejudiced the American press. In regard to the present situation only real, practical intervention by the powers cnn’stop the fghting. Without such in- tervention the campaign will be prosecuted to_the bitter end. The band now fightin; Monastir _consists of mostly young and enthuslastic and trained in the use of arms. That number could be auadrupled were it ot that the difficulty of feeding such an army renders its in- crease inadvisable. The Turkish troops e badly clothed and demorallzed. They have repeatedly refused to march against the Insurgents, who are well supplied with arms and ammunition, chiefly purchased trom Turkish soldiers who sold their guns for cash almost within sight of the bar racks of Monastir. By the plentiful em loyment of money insurgent bands have en enabled to smuggle any quantity of uns across the frontier and the highest urkish officials have readily accepted in- surgent gold. Look to England for Ald. Dr. Tartarcheff sald the friends of the cause looked chiefly toward England as the ploneer land of liberty, to assist them. General Tzoncheff, presiaent of the Mace- donlan committee, and his friend, Colonel Jenkoff, both ex-officers in the Bulgarian army, have been arrested by the Bulgarian police near the Macedonian frontier under the suspicion that they were on their way to join the revolutionists.

The insurgent banner was un- furled August 10 at Knosko, near Glergvell, showing. that the insurrection is spreading eastward. According to the latest advices from Monastir, dated August 10, the Bulgarians are elated at the death of the Russian con- sul, M. Rostkevoski.

Ralli refused to grant the permission and counseled them to remain quiet. Reports from government agents in vari- ous districts of Macedonia are of a dis. quieting character. They say the outbreak is steadily extending northward from Mon- astir and toward Salonica. Adherents are daily jolning the Insurgent bands. POWERS ADMITS SWEARING LIE Youtsey Produces Signed Document Declaring Afdavit of Inno- cence to Be False. GEORGETOWN, Ky. Aug. 13—On the witness stand for three hours this after- Henry Youtsey, gave damaging testimony against Caleb Powers in the Goebel conspiracy case, He swore to signing an amdavit for Powers as to his innoncence to present to the republican judges of the court of ap- peals though both Powers and he knew it to be false.

Dwyer's Meteoric Flashes All Extinguished by Poverty, NEW YORK, Aug. 13.—Bdward I. Dwyer today flled a petition In bankruptcy. The liabilities are fixed at $i74,6 and the assets at $160. Most of the labllities are secured. The history of Kdward L. Dwyer reads like a romance. He was born in Connecti- cut forty-three years ago, and at the age of twenty-five went to Mexico, where he realized $1,00,000 through the development of land and the construction of a railroad. Then he went to Chicago and entered into wheat speculation and for some time was known as “‘the Napoleon of the wheat pit.” In his wheat speculations it is said he made several millions of dollars. In 1898 he met and married the duchess de Casteluchia, a New York woman, who many years previous had married an FINANCE BILL IS CERTAIN Little News Ooncerning Lata Conference is Reosived at Washington. NO RADICAL LEGISLATION IS POSSISLE Measure Framed by Allison and Spooner Likely to He Received with More Favor Than Aldrich- Platt Conception. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.—(Special gram.)—Information received in Washing- ton concerning the conference between the | senate fubcommittee and the president on the new financial bill is rather vague, but the understanding Is that some sort of a measure is to be put through at the com- Ing session of congress. The president does not profess to know anything special about financial matters, but realizes in a general way that the immense outstand- ing amounts of silver and greenback based upon a limited supply of gold, ls not a safe and sufficient method of finance for a great government. He is anxious to have any remedy applied which may pre- vent anything of a disastrous financial nature occurring in the future. At the same time, since his talk with Representa- tive Cannon, who is to be spemker, and with other western men, he does not de- sire leglslation of a radical nature, which will be to the benefit of Wall street alone, and which will not meet the exigencles of | the legitimate business of the whole coun- try. Just what sort of a bill has been framed is sull indefinite. The more that is known ot the Aldrich bill of the last session, the less favorable impression it has made. The Fowler bill seems to be entirely out of the question, and the leglislation which must be enacted at the coming session of congress will have to be of a moderate and conservative kind, in order to com- mand enough strength to pass. If Sen- ators Alilson and Spooner are allowed to do,the legislation, rather than Aldrich and Platt, all of whom are members of the subcommittee, more confidence will be extended in congress. A bill known to have been drafted by Spooner and Allison will receive favorable consideration, where one drafted by Aldrich will be looked upon with suspicion. The desire of the president, as understood here, is that all possibility of any financial disaster that legislation can prevent ought to be re- moved, but that nothing which would cause overspeculation and artificial pros- perity should be adopted.

FINANCE MEASURE NOT YET FRAMED Benate Bubcommittes Seeks Further Expert Advioo Before Acting. BANKERS AND OTHERS TO BE CONSULTED Bill, When Ready, to Refleot Best Views Obtainable. TRULY ELASTIC CURRENCY Legislators Desire to Settle Vexed Question Once and for All and Outside of Political Line: i IS SOUGHT OYBTER BAY, L. I, Aug. 13.—Presldent Roosevelt's conference with a subcommit- tee of the senate finance committes was not concluded untll the small hours this morning. The whole subject of finan- clal legislation at the approaching session of congress was discussed thoroughly. The committes, consisting of Senators Al- drich, chairman; Platte, Connecticut; Alll- son and Spooner did not present even a tentative draft of a currency bill to the president, although some propositions which, subsequently, may be embodled in the measure were reduced to concrete form. No definite conclusions as to the shape ot the proposed jegislation were reached. The conference related rather to methods of procedure in the work at hand than to the form of the legislation. At 7:30 o'clock this morning the members of the committee left Sagamore HIUI, boarded their yacht, Vergena, and saflel for Providence on their return to Senator Aldrich's home. One fact of distinct im- portance was developed at the conference. ‘While un extraordinary session of congress next fall is aseured, it has not been deter- mined definitely whether it will be called 10 meet in October or in November. It has been supposed that the extraordl- nary session would convene on Monday, November 9, ‘but the indications mow are that it will be called for an earlier date, perhaps several woeks earlier, Trenty. The primary purpose of the extraordinary session will be to enact legislation making operative the Cuban reciprocity treaty, but financial legislation will also be press: | upon the attention of congress soon aft.. it convenes. Three of the senators present at last night's conference are members of the sen- ate committee on relatfons with Cuba, Platt, chairman, Aldrich ‘and Spooner. All ot them, particularly Mr. Platt, who has made a profeund study of the situation in Cuba, regard the necessity for the cnactment of Cuban treaty legislation as urgent. Presi- dent Roorevait entertains the same view. Tt Is underrtecd that these senators sug.: gested calling congress togother in October, because of the urgency of the Cuban legls- lation. It was pointed out, too, that if congress ‘were convened at an early date, the entire work of the extraordinary and regular ses- slon could be cleared up by the time the national conventions are held next year, which would be a great convenience not only to the president, but also to members of both the senate and the hous To Consider Cul Consnlt Others on Finance Biil. It can be said that the senate finance committes wil! draft no measure formally | and conclusively until consultations have been held with other members of tre sen- ate—Democrats as well as Republicans with members of the house and with the best authorities on finance {n the country. It is the desire of the committes to be in constant touch with the president, with other senators, with members of the house, with bankers of the weat, as well as those of the east, and with country bankers as well as city bankers, #o that some plan of Jegislation may be formed by the opening of the extraordinary session of congress. It is the hope of the committee to devi a genulnely tic currency system, a sys- tem that will expand when the necessity | whall demand, and contract when the neces- sity shall have ceased to exist. No Bill Yet Drafted, Benator Aldrich, when asked with ref- erence to the senator's visit to the presi- dent, sald: ‘The republican members of the subcom- mittee of the senate finance committiee, wi recently met for an informal conference it Warwick, R, I, talked with the president about financial conditions and the needs of legislative changes. No bill has been drafted or agreed upon and none will be until after the fullest consideration with democratic associates on the subcommities and all the members of the finance com- mittee. t Is, however, our purpose to have a bill in readiness for presentation at the begin ning of the exira session if one shall be called in October or Not ber. We aro hopeful that a bill can be agreed upon and reported that will receive the approval ot both houses of congress and bring prompt and efficient rellef to the business interests of the whole country. Becretaries Shaw and Hiteheock will visit President Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill tomorrow. This will be Becretary Hitch- cock's first visit to the president since Mr. Roosevelt came to Oyster Bay. 7The call has no special significance.
